Question
A triangle is both isosceles and acute. If one angle of the triangle measures $36^{\circ},$ what is the measure of the largest angle(s) of the triangle? What is the measure of the smallest angle(s) of the triangle?
Step 1
Given that one angle of the triangle measures $36^{\circ}$, we can subtract this from $180^{\circ}$ to find the sum of the other two angles. \[180^{\circ} - 36^{\circ} = 144^{\circ}\] Show more…

Inequalities in a Triangle
The sum of the measure of a triangle is 180 grades the smallest angle of the triangle has a measure of 2/5 the measure of the second smallest angle. The largest angle measures 36 less than 4 times the measure of the second smallest angle. Determine the measure of each angle
The measure of the smallest angle of a triangle is one-third the measure of the largest angle. The middle angle measures $30^{\circ}$ less than the largest angle. Find the measures of the angles of the triangle. (Hint: Recall that the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is $180^{\circ}$.)
